Have fun! And that's a weird coincidence, because my dad's in Beijing on a business trip O.o

By the way, what does your post title mean?

Not a problem :). Let's see...he's president of five companies. He started out as vice president (aka glorified salesman) for one company, but over the last 19 years founded and built four more sister companies. They sell coolants and lubrication stuff for the most part. The guys in the lab invented this stuff called Ice32 and Zerol Ice that makes air conditioning run better and more fuel-and-cost efficiently around seven or eight years ago, which is the product I know most about. Back in 2000 my family moved to England to start and company there, and a two(?) years ago opened the office in China (but we didn't have to live there that time).

As far as I know, they've had a pretty good success selling their stuff in China, since they broke into the market pretty early.

My dad doesn't speak Chinese, but is interested in learning, possibly via Rosetta Stone or a similar program. He's quite busy between his job and our family though, so he hasn't had the time.

My dad really inspires me to be honest, he's come a long way from the boy from the dirt-poor family who worked as a lumberjack (seriously) to put himself through college.
